The world of Honor of Kings is expanding beyond the battlefield with the exciting announcement of an upcoming animated series, Honor of Kings: Destiny, set to premiere on Crunchyroll. This new series will spotlight the beloved character Kai, promising fans a deeper dive into the lore and adventures of this fan-favorite hero. Tencent, the powerhouse behind Honor of Kings, is clearly aiming to replicate the success and widespread acclaim that Arcane brought to League of Legends, hoping to boost the game's popularity through this multimedia venture.
In addition to the animated series, Honor of Kings is also gearing up for a collaboration with the popular Chinese animated film Ne Zha 2. While this partnership may primarily appeal to audiences in China, it underscores Tencent's broader strategy to elevate Honor of Kings' profile on a global scale.
Honor of Kings has already made strides in capturing the attention of Western audiences, notably through its feature in the Amazon anthology Secret Level. However, Honor of Kings: Destiny represents the most significant effort yet to break into the Western market. Although unconfirmed sources suggest a release date of May 31st on Crunchyroll, the series has already generated buzz with its visually stunning trailers. The key to its success will likely hinge on its ability to make the intricate lore of the MOBA accessible and engaging to a broader audience, much like Arcane did for League of Legends.
With all this exciting news, if you're inspired to dive back into Honor of Kings, make sure you're well-equipped for battle. Check out our comprehensive Honor of Kings tier list to stay updated on the best characters to dominate the game.
